Our goal is, and always has been, to give you power and choice in how you get where you need to go. Since parking our first car in 2007, we’ve helped millions of people save time, money and headaches that come from circling the block looking for a parking space.

We also understand that life is unpredictable. Things come up and plans change. To give you greater flexibility and control over your travel plans, we are introducing a new feature that allows you extend your booking time at select parking garages.

Simply choose “Extend Time” in the mobile app, your preferred time extension and confirm the change. You’ll receive an updated parking pass with your new extended end time. On top of all that, you will get the same great rates you’re used to every time you extend. Don’t see your favorite parking garage listed? Please let us know in feedback next time you book.

As a driver, you’ve never had more transportation options to choose from. Over the next few months, expect to see new ParkWhiz enhancements and technologies that make travel easier and provide you freedom in how you get to your destination.

At ParkWhiz, we strive to serve parking operators by providing tools to help maximize yield per space. But despite the wave of mobility technology, we have learned that some of the biggest challenges operators face are how to equip on-site staff to manage day-to-day operations and how to quickly support customers.

To ease the job for attendants on the ground, we’re rolling out our newly enhanced mobile attendant app, making it easier than ever for parking operators to track inventory and check in incoming ParkWhiz customers.

The app’s refreshed user interface allows attendants to easily tally current and future reservations in real time, eliminating the risk of overselling spaces. The improved search functionality makes it simpler to search bookings by license plate, reservation ID, or customer name and view full reservation details. The built-in QR scanner lets attendants quickly check in drivers—an essential feature for processing high volumes of customers when staff is limited.

While we expect this update will make the ParkWhiz experience for operators more robust, we don’t plan on stopping there. As with our app for drivers, our goal is to develop new and better tools to support our partners and remove the pain points they experience. We look forward to playing our part in helping operators thrive as mobility technology becomes increasingly woven into the fabric of the parking industry.

The ParkWhiz Mobile Attendant app is now available for iOS and Android. Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Today I’m thrilled to announce our newest feature: the ParkWhiz skill for Amazon Alexa. We’re excited to make the experience of finding, reserving, and paying for parking even easier, thanks to Alexa’s voice-activated, hands-free interface.

Everyone at ParkWhiz strives to make parking a seamless experience for drivers, and this latest integration is an amazing step in that direction. With all the distractions we face, we need new ways to simplify the ins and outs of daily life. ParkWhiz for Alexa does just that by allowing you to book a parking space wherever you need one without lifting a finger—just ask and one will appear out of thin air. Watch this video to see the skill in action:

We all marveled when smartphones and tablets first came on the scene, and they’ve changed our lives. Now technology is moving from a mobile orientation toward a focus on voice-first experiences. ParkWhiz is proud to be on the vanguard of this shift in the tech world, and we’re even more proud to be the first in the parking tech space to integrate with Alexa.

ParkWhiz for Alexa is currently available for use on any Alexa-enabled device, but that’s only the beginning. As Alexa moves into smart cars, you’ll be able to book parking by voice command while you’re driving around town. That means even more effortless parking, not to mention increased safety for you, your family, and other drivers on the road. That’s parking awesome.
